grafix 4 flash--> sticking with macromedia or going adobe?

[cosmiceye]

Which is the easiest and most appropiate vector grafix software to use with flash(mx)? I tried fireworks, and its easy to copy & past, but the grafic tools sucks. I tested freehand about a year ago, and I didnot understand it, maybe there is a mx release that works best ( tell me!).
I know that adobe illustrator is good, but is it easy to paste the grafix to flash, or do I have to "export as" and import (that sucks)? There really should be people in this forum that has the answers. Thank you.

When using illustrator 10, you can export the vector based image or any image to swf...
This way you get good quality images in flash.
But I think that is the only way, you might try copy and pasting it in Flash but can't tell you now if that works allright..

Hi i'm an illustrator man myself

fireworks is v good at what it does but i would nt use it to draw stuff

freehand is also good but i dont like the panels fiddly little things (it can do multiple pages which is the only plus)
